And how about the crackleback? An easy tie that works well for me.

Whoooeee! I just love the dialogue.

Gotta tell my only carp story. (so far)

I was fishing mill creek during my lunch hour one day last fall.

I was standing about 8, maybe 10, feet above the...

A few weeks ago, I was fishing a small pond here in Kansas and had the heart-stopping pleasure of seeing huge koi come swimming along the weedline.

I never really thought about targeting such a...

The reality is, when I catch any fish anywhere, I get excited and have to talk about it!

Maybe I'm new enough to both fly fishing and to Kansas that we can consider it naivete. Or perhaps, not having fished any location enough to feel "ownership" of the place, I feel like a guest who...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. It sounds like most folks are using stronger thread for this application.

I have been using 6/0 and will go to something stronger.

Thanks again.

A little time spent this morning at Kill Creek Park yielded the largest bluegill I have taken on a fly rod.

I also hooked into what would have been the largest fish I had ever taken, had I taken...

I recently tied my first few spun deer hair bugs. I keep breaking the thread when I spin the hair.

Is it my technique or does one need to go to a stronger thread for this tying technique?

Hey folks!

I'm just outside the Olathe city limits on the east side in Overland Park. Kids go to Olathe schools.

One of my favorite spots is a subdivision park pond nearby. Sunday I caught...

One that is not on your list and should be just for journey is the Devil's River. You could hit the Rio Grande, Pecos and Devil's river in the vicinity of Lake Amistad. That would be great trip.

Reading your list of rivers made me one homesick Texan!

Sounds like it was drafted by a patent attorney.

I sure appreciate all the fast responses and great information.

Some of the responses really expanded my thinking on what you can do with multiple flies.

Thanks!

I haven't fished with a dropper much, but when I have, I have a little trouble attaching the dropper. What I have tried is rigging a nymph on a length of tippet with a perfection knot on the end and...

I built a Stowaway from a kit, my first, as a Christmas gift. I was able to get it out and catch a couple of bluegills and a largemouth in January. Can't wait for spring.

Joe, I'll certainly checkout Hillsdale. I just bought myself a Fish Cat pontoon and that sounds like a good place to try it out. All my fly fishing has been fron the bank so far.

I sold my...

Man, ya'll are making me miss my old Sawyer Summersong. It was a nice 14' solo, white gel over Kevlar. Fast. It was my training boat when I was on a four man canoe racing team in Texas. That was...

I was given a pheasant skin and a deer tail yesterday by a co-worker. What should I do to these items to sanitize or preserve them for future use? They are from fresh kills and in ziplock bags.

Wow. Thanks for the great information!

I am really intrigued by the counter-clockwise cruising habit. Something to study for sure.

Being a neophyte, I need some advice. I have been fishing warm water but would like to try a local impoundment that has been stocked with trout for winter fishing. my very limited trout fishing...

Great information. I appreciate the responses. Now I have to ask another question. How does one determine the sex of a BG? Is it just the breast color?

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but...

What size makes a bluegill a "keeper"?

I ask because I keep tossing them all back but read something about keeping them to balance the population. I've...

I went to the creek and caught another of these fish, this time on a black woolly booger. I've confirmed it is a creek chubb based on a description I found that includes a tell-tale detail: a black...

I am relatively new to fly fishing and just took up tying. I have quickly branched from using traditional materials, to just about anything that looks interesting.

I used a pair of the soft foam...

Yesterday, while fishing in Mill Creek, Lenexa, KS, I caught a few bluegill, a large mouth, and two unidentified fish.

They were 7-8 inches long, with slender bodies, and a slightly flattened...
